Here is another Hot Hatch to watch out for. It is inspired by the Polo R WRC racer which is all set to make its first rally debut in the 2013 season of WRC.
It costs around 24 lakhs and there is no need saying it wont be launched in India.

That's really how you do hot hatches! India hasn't really grasped on to this concept fully yet, but with a slew of recent launches and a few more in the pipeline things are definitely looking better.

If one were to imagine this Polo R WRC to launch in India with the exact same specs (not the detuned version as we might think otherwise) what would this car cost here approximately?

I would say it would be priced at around 35-40L inclusive of all import duties, octroi etc. This is how you churn out limited editions! Manufacturers who are releasing "limited editions" in India are lucky that most customers are not bothered about the limited edition funda. However they should take cues from this. I am not sure that it would see Indian shores though.
